🚗 According to lithium usage estimates, how many times will the “Number of Electric Vehicles” increase in the next 6 years?
🔋Is there a necessity in battery-battery recycling? How are the situations in Turkey?
💧 The use of Lithium in drinking water reduces suicide rates by 40%!
📱 Mobile phones, computers and electric vehicles exist thanks to him.
🌞 Solar and wind energy can be stored thanks to it.
In short: Lithium has quietly but radically changed the world.
🧪 Let’s take it back a little
“Lithium” means stone in Greek.
It was discovered by chance by a Brazilian statesman in Sweden in the 1800s.
Afterwards, it infiltrated everywhere from the food industry to technology.
💡 In fact, rumor has it that the “7” in the name “7 Up” refers to the atomic weight of lithium!
🧠 Lithium in the World of Science
🧩 The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of lithium-ion batteries.
💊 Lithium is used as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
📚 In studies conducted in Texas in 1990, the suicide rate was found to be 40% lower in areas with high lithium content in water.
In another study conducted in Japan in 2009, these results were confirmed again.
⚙️ The Rise of Lithium in Industry
🔹 Lightest metal
⚠️ Carries the risk of explosion
🔋 1991: Lithium-ion batteries were commercialized
2020: Included in the EU’s list of critical raw materials
📊 Uses:
71 🔋% Battery sector (up from only 12% in 2012!)
🔍 Glass and lubrication industry
🌎 80% of reserves are in Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Australia
🏭 96% of production comes from Chile, Argentina, Australia and China
China’s Lithium Strategy
China is not just a manufacturer;
it buys mines in South America,
it strengthens its influence in this market with its mining associations.
In short: The “new oil” is now lithium!
Agency Comment:
- The number of Electric Vehicles will increase 3.5 times in the next 6 years!
- According to Lithium sectoral usage rates and the amount of Lithium used in devices and vehicles and Statista data*, Global Lithium demand: >2024: 110 Million kg, >2030: 370 million kg
- Unfortunately, there are no efficient Lithium resources in our country.
- What needs to be done very urgently in the triangle of sources, electric vehicle production and battery; “There will be need of sectoral support for battery-battery recycling facilities.”
- According to the EU’s new Battery Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, covering all types of batteries, 6% of the LITHIUM content of batteries and batteries produced from 2031 onwards must be obtained from recycling. In 2036, this rate rises to 12%. In other words, the sector has to DOUBLE in 10 years!
- China’s strategic approach and sustainable setup is something to think about for other Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturers.
So CHINA is no longer only strong in production but also in stradejic!
